Extra large rugs do more than fill space. They bring harmony to wide rooms, create clear spaces in open layouts and add warmth underfoot. At Emily’s House London, our extra large rugs are handwoven by skilled artisans using natural fibres chosen for strength, texture and long lasting character. These pieces suit contemporary homes as well as classic interiors and offer generous proportions that make any room feel considered and complete.
Why Choose Extra Large Rugs?
An extra large rug changes how a space works. In open plan living it can define a lounge area and give structure to the layout. In large bedrooms it adds softness around the bed and makes the room feel more balanced. In dining spaces a rug with enough room for the table and chairs to stay fully supported helps the whole area look more intentional. These rugs reduce echo, bring visual warmth and tie furniture together in a way smaller sizes cannot achieve.
Materials and Styles
Our extra large rugs are handwoven from natural fibres selected for durability and comfort. Popular choices include:
Extra Large Jute Rugs
Strong, neutral and textural. Ideal for open plan rooms, studios and everyday living spaces.
Extra Large Berber Rugs
Handwoven in Morocco using soft wool with expressive patterns. These pieces add character and depth to large rooms.
Extra Large Kilim Rugs
Flatwoven, colourful and robust. Suitable for high traffic areas such as dining rooms and generous hallways.
Styling Extra Large Rugs
When adding an extra large rug, think about the overall proportions of the room. In living spaces, placing most or all furniture onto the rug helps create a unified layout. In bedrooms, allow the rug to reach well beyond the bed to frame the whole setting. Neutral jute and wool rugs suit calm, simple palettes, while patterned Berber and kilim pieces introduce contrast and interest. Extra large rugs guide the room rather than simply sitting within it.
Durability and Care
These rugs are designed for frequent use in active parts of the home. Natural fibres such as wool and jute age well and hold their shape over time. Regular vacuuming and the occasional rotation help maintain an even appearance. Vegetable dyed colours develop a lived in richness that adds character with age.
Extra Large Rugs FAQs
What size is an extra large rug?
At Emily's House Extra large rugs are usually larger than 250 cm x 350 cm. They suit wide rooms and open layouts where smaller rugs would look out of scale.
Where should I use an extra large rug?
These rugs work well in large lounges, loft style spaces and spacious bedrooms. They help fill empty areas, make furniture feel connected and bring a sense of balance to the room.
How do I style an extra large rug?
In living rooms, place most or all furniture on the rug so the whole seating area feels linked. In bedrooms, let the rug extend on each side and at the end of the bed. In open plan spaces, use one extra large rug for each zone so every area has a clear purpose.
Are extra large rugs difficult to clean?
Extra large rugs need regular vacuuming, just like smaller pieces. Rotate them from time to time to spread wear evenly. Always follow the care advice for the specific fibre, especially for natural materials such as wool and jute.
